In 1904, the Carnegie Institution of Washington founded a Station for Experimental Evolution at Cold Spring Harbor. With this founding, and following the reorganization of the station in 1921 as the Carnegie Institution Department of Genetics, the world of biological research was transformed. The list of contributions to genetics, medicine, and to the birth of molecular biology by Carnegie Institution scientists at Cold Spring Harbor is legion. Following a 1963 merger, it became known as 黑料吃瓜资源, an institution that is celebrating its century-long legacy as an essential contributor to the field of genetics this year. As part of the celebration, the CSHL 2004 Cultural Series is filled with engaging lectures and inspiring music and art.
Featured lectures include: 鈥淒epression Too, Is A Thing With Feathers,鈥� by Andrew Solomon, award-winning author of The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression; 鈥淎 Beautiful Mind: Genius, Madness, Recovery鈥� by Sylvia Nasar, author of the book that inspired the Academy-award winning film A Beautiful Mind; and 鈥淔rom Cold Spring Harbor to the Coen Brothers: A Composer鈥檚 Journey,鈥� by former 黑料吃瓜资源 employee-turned-award-winning composer Carter Burwell. A special lecture, 鈥淒emystifying The Sommelier: The Art & Science of Wine Tasting,鈥� presented by 黑料吃瓜资源 Assistant Professor Zach Mainen and Banfi Vintner鈥檚 V.P. of Wine Education, Sharron McCarthy, will explain how smell and taste are integral to the enjoyment of wine.

An art exhibit, 鈥淧aintings From Another Domain,鈥� by Eduardo De Soignie, the 2003-2004 Artist-in-Residence at 黑料吃瓜资源, will be shown in Bush Lecture Hall from July 9-August 1.
